Facebook Community Forum Swamped By Spam During Thanksgiving Weekend

Facebook’s community forum was flooded during the Thanksgiving weekend with spam messages that advertised live streaming links for various sporting events. It’s not clear if the accounts that posted the rogue messages were registered specifically for this purpose or were legitimate accounts compromised by spammers. Most of the affected users have installed what appear to be rogue apps with names such as “Notes” or “Discussion Board” This opens up the possibility that their accounts were hijacked as a result of older spam campaigns that encouraged them to install those applications.”]
